INTRODUCTION. 


It  is  not  the  purpose  of  this  publication  to  .set  forth  the  oppor- 
tunities and  advantages  offered  by  the  Vulcon  gold  field.s,  nor  to 
urge  or  encourage  people  to  go  there.  It  is  intended  as  a  prac- 
tical route  and  mining  guide  for  those  who  are  going. 

The  need  of  such  a  guide  is  attested  by  the  failure  to  reach 
the  interior  of  thon.sands  who  made  the  attempt  during  the 
]Kist  summer,  and  by  the  frequent  less  of  boats  and  even  of  lives,  in 
the  rapids  of  the  Yukon. 

As  its  title  implies,  it  is  a  combined  map  and  guide  of  the  route. 

The  map,  which  is  divided  into  sections  covering  about  twen  3 
page.s  of  the  book,  is  dra\/n  on  a  scale  sufficiently  large  to  show 
e^-ery  dangerous  or  difiicult  point  along  the  route,  and  to  point 
out  the  way  of  ivoiding  or  the  method  of  overcoming  such  diffi- 
culties. Thus,  while  to  one  who  is  seeking  a  "Guide "  to  enable 
him  to  determine  whether  or  not  to  go,  it  will  be  of  little  practical 
value,  to  the  one  who  is  going  it  is  indispensable,  as  the  informa- 
tion given  is  absolutely  reliable,  and  being  protected  by  copyright 
will  be  found  nowhere  else. 

Mr.  Sallee,  one  of  the  publishers  of  the  book,  is  entirely  familiar 
with  the  route  from  Dyea  to  the  mouth  of  the  Yukon,  and  the 
correctness  of  his  notes,  from  which  the  maps  and  charts  were 
made,  has  been  verified  by  others  who  have  been  over  it  the  whole 
distance,  both  going  and  returning.  Description  is  given  of  the 
several  routes  leading  from  Seattle  to  the  gold  fields,  and  of  the 
railroads,  tramways  and  other  transportation  lines  so  far  projected, 
but  no  charts  are  given  of  any  route  except  that  by  way  of  Chil- 
koot  pa.ss,  as  that  is  the  only  land  route  which  has  so  far  been 
found  entirely  practicable;  and  detailed  description  of  the  ocean 
route  would  be  of  no  practical  value. 

Each  map  is  accompained  by  detailed  de.scription  of  the  portion 
of  the  route  covered  by  it.  and  particular  attention  is  called  to  the 
charts  of  Miles  Canyon,  White  Horse  Rapids,  and  Five  Fingers, 
the  three  dangerous  points  on  the  Yukon.  Any  one  of  the.se 
charts,  as  well  as  the  map  and  detail  description  of  the  Thirty  Mile 
River,  is  certain  to  prove  of  incalculable  practical  value  to  those 
making  the  trip. 

The  limited  number  of  adverti-sements  which  have  been  inserted 
have  been  selected  with  discrimination  by  the  publishers,  who 
guarantee  the  reliability  of  the  advertisers.

NOTE. 

The  plan  adopted  in  thi.s  publication,  of  dividing  the  route  map 
into  sections  covering  a  page  each,  is  respectfully  submitted  as  be- 
ing the  most  convenient  arrangement  possible,  avoiding  the  incon- 
venience of  opening  out  double  page  maps,  and  the  po.ssibility 
of  losing  them  from  the  book. 

These  sectional  maps,  in  order  to  get  the  advantage  of  as  large 
a  scale  as  po.ssible,  extend  lengthwise  of  the  pages,  but  the  direc- 
tion or  course  which  they  take,  as  well,  also,  as  the  relative  loca- 
tion of  any  particular  section,  will  be  indicated  on  the  Index  Map 
which  precedes  the  .sectional  maps.  These  maps  are  reproduc- 
tions, on  a  greatly  enlarged  scale,  of  the  latest  official  maps,  made 
in  1897,  by  Mr.  Ogilvie. 

The  publishers  call  attention  to  the  brevity  and  conciseness  of 
tliis  publication,  as  one  of  its  principal  recommendations. 

As  to  its  accuracy  and  reliability,  we  submit  the  following  in- 
dorsement, signed  by  John  F.  Miller,  Frank  E.  Sims  and  Michael 
Kelly.  Mr.  Miller  is  ex-pro.secuting  attorney  of  King  county, 
Washington,  (Seattle) ;  Mr.  Sims  is  a  former  captain  of  police  in 
Seattle,  and  Mr.  Kelly  is  the  well  known  Yukon  guide  and  miner, 
and  all  have  recently  returned  from  the  Klondike: 

"Seattle,  Washington,  December  4,  1897. 
"  .\fessrs.  l/uines,  LysoHS  and  Sallee,  Seattle,  Washington  — Gn'sri.v.- 
MEN  :  We  have  examined  the  proof  sheets  of  your  'Map-Guide,  Seattle  to 
Dawson,'  and  in  our  judgment  your  book  will  be  the  most  complete  and 
practical  of  any  Yukon  or  Klondike  guide  published.  Your  charts  of  the 
White  Horse  and  other  dangerous  rapids  are  remarkably  accurate  in  all 
practical  detail,  and  the  use  of  them  ought  to  enable  anyone  to  make  the 
trip  without  risk. 

"  The  prospector  who  secures  your  book  will  need  no  other  Klondike

OUTFITTING. 


Prospectors  will  find  that  the  merchants'  experience  in  the  out- 
fitting trade  is  of  the  greatest  possible  assistance  to  him,  as  the 
selection  and  packing  of  an  outfit  are  matters  of  primary  impor- 
tance. In  general,  these  matters  may  be  left  largely  to  the  judg- 
ment of  experienced  outfitters,  but  there  are  some  details  which 
the  prospector  .should  oversee  personally.  The  following  sugges- 
tions should  be  adopted,  and  arbitrarily  insisted  upon: 

1 .  Get  the  best  quality  of  everything. 

This  applies  particularly  to  flour  and  bacon.  Get  nothing  but 
eastern  cured  bacon.  It  is  well,  even,  to  have  the  allowance 
of  bacon  made  up  in  part  of  dry  salt  pork. 

2.  As  far  as  possible  have  all  packages  limited  to  fifty  pounds 
weight. 

T,.  As  far  as  possible,  have  everything  put  in  bags  instead  of 
boxes.  They  should  be  protected,  also,  by  an  oil  or  canvas  bag, 
and  the  clothing  bag  should  be  protected  by  lock  and  key. 

4.  Have  a  comtni.ssary  box.  This  is  one  of  the  first  and  most 
essential  things  of  the  outfit. 

5.  The  contents  of  each  box  or  l)ag  should  be  plainly  indicated 
on  the  outside,  and  art|fles  of  different  kinds,  such  as  pepper, 
baking  powder,  soap,  etc.,  should  not  be  jumbled  together. 

SUPPLIES. 


The  amount  of  supplies  to  be  taken  depends  largely  upon  where 
the  prospector  is  goitig.  If  to  Dawson  and  other  down  river 
points,  he  may  rely  upon  getting  supplies  after  he  reaches  there. 
If  he  goes  to  any  ol  the  up  river  tributaries,  especially  to  the 
Pelly  or  Stewart  river  districts,  he  should  take  enough  to  last 
until  the  month  of  May  following.  A  shortage  of  supplies  to  the 
prospector  up  any  of  these  streams  means  the  loss  of  a  season's 
prospecting,  on  account  of  the  length  of  time  it  would  take  him 
to  get  supplies  in. 

Until  the  great  rush  of  the  past  year  prospectors  could  usually 
depend  upon  getting  furs  after  they  had  reached  the  mining  dis- 


tricts.  which  rendered  it  unnecessary  to  take  fnrs  ,n  w,«a  tl  em. 
^„d  even  reduced  the  amount  of  woolens  to  be  take.,.  That  be- 
ine  no  longer  possible,  it  is  necessary  for  the  prospector  to  supply 
m  df  wi?h  a  con,plete  outfit.  We  give  the  follown^g  as  a  ccn- 
se^tive  estimate  of  the  supplies  required  for  one  man  for  one

The  transportation  lines  at  present  operating,  ^,'th  others  pro-

"^e  distance  is  about  800  miles,  and  the  steamships  make  the 
r^u  in  from  three  and  one-half  to  six  days.  The  course  is  over 
what  is  known  as  the  inside  passage,  being  inside  an  almost  con- 

nuous  chain  of  islands.     No  open  water  is  experienced  except 
Queen  Charlotte  Sound,  Dixon's  Entrance  and  Millbank  Sound 
and  through  those  seasickness  is  rarely   experienced,  even  in 

Tc'vIeTst^ttle  and  Dyea  the  regular  stopping  places  are  Port 
TownTnd  the  port  of  entry  for  Puget  Sound,  Mary  Island  and 
?u.rea«  and  sto^  will  be  made  at  FortWrangel,  Haines  Mission

''1T^ZJ::^^s  been  a  place  of  some  importance  . 
a  Yukon  outfitting  point,  by  reason  partly  of  ,t  being  the  last 
point  touched  at  by  Alaskan  steamers. 

DYEA. 


Dvea  is  a  sub-port  of  entry,  and  the  headquarters  also  of  the 
United  SatesCoLissioner  and  the  Deputy  Marshal.  Wharves

Til  to  srorrhisgo'odshecan  find  camping  ground  about  one 

milp  hack  from  the  landing.  _  , 

Every  outfit  should  receive  the  personal  attention  of  the  owner, 
to  see  that  it  is  properly  landed  and  protected. 

CHILKOOT  PASS. 

The  winter  and  spring  trail  follows  the  bed  of  the  river  from 
Dyea  to  the  foot  of  the  canyon,  a  distance  of  about  seven  miles 
From  the7e  the  trail  turns  to  the  rigut  and  follows  up  the  bed  of  a 
fmal  slel    putting  into  the  Dyea  river,  to  Sheep  Camp,  abou 
Tx  miles  beyond.    This  point.  Sheep  Camp,  shoidd  be  mad    the 
fir.st  permanent  camping  place  after  leaving  Dyea    2Z\^Z 
timber  between  there  and  Deep  lake,  a  distance  of  about  eleNeii 


'mtmm 


mm 


15 

miles,  and  therefore  this  latter  point  is  to  be  made  the  next  per- 
manent camping  place. 

Tlie  moving  of  the  outfit  between  these  points  requires  care  and 
tlie  exercise  of  good  judgment.  It  can  be  sledded  to  the  Scales, 
and  from  that  point  has  to  be  packed  to  the  summit,  a  di.stance  of 
about  three-fourths  of  a  mile.  The  whole  outfit  should  be  taken 
from  vSheep  Camp  to  the  summit  as  rapidly  as  possible,  and  there 
cached.  The  goods  here  should  be  well  covered  and  protected,  as 
it  frequently  happens  that  a  sudden  storm  prevents  their  being 
moved  from  this  point  for  many  days  at  a  time,  and  is  also  some- 
times true  at  Sheep  Camp.  In  moving  over  this  distance  your 
personal  comfort  should  be  looked  after,  and  heavy  clothing  taken 
along  for  protection  in  ca.se  of  a  sudden  storm.  It  is  the  custom 
of  old  miners,  also,  to  put  in  their  outfit  some  dry  kindlings  and 
wood  for  use  in  ca.se  of  an  emergency. 

Kroni  the  sununit  the  outfit  should  be  taken  over  the  ice  until 
open  water  is  reached.  In  early  travel  this  is  usually  as  far  as  the 
foot  of  Lake  Marsh,  and  sometimes  even  to  the  foot  ""Lake  Le- 
barge.  This  is  the  beginning  of  Thirty  Mile  river,  in  which,  on 
account  of  the  swift  current,  the  ice  freezes  in  hummocks,  along 
which  there  is  more  or  less  open  water,  rendering  it  impracticable 
to  sled. 

What  is  known  as  winter  and  spring  travel  on  the  Chilkoot, 
continues  usually  until  about  the  middle  of  May;  that  is,  the 
tran.sportation  of  goods  on  the  ice  and  snow,  by  means  of  sleds. 
During  this  period  the  conditions  for  transportation  are  usually 
most  favorable  during  the  month  of  March ;  and  as  a  usual  thing 
those  who  leave  vSeattle  during  February  are  as  far  advanced  as 
tho.se  who  leave  earlier. 

The  length  of  time  required  to  take  an  outfit  from  Dyea  to  the 
summit  is  problematical,  depending  upon  the  pro.spector's  experi- 
ence, conditions  of  the  weather,  size  of  the  outfit,  etc.  Under 
ordinarily  favorable  circumstances  a  man  moving  his  outfit  alone 
will  get  it  from  Dyea  to  the  summit  in  about  two  weeks.  This 
is  not  taking  into  consideration,  on  the  one  hand,  delays  by 
storms,  nor  on  the  other,  any  assistance  he  might  have  from  others, 
or  with  dogs. 

In  the  spring  of  1895,  Mr.  Sallee  made  the  trip  from  Seattle  to 
the  Klondike  river,  by  way  of  this  pass,  in  thirty  days,  without 
dogs  having  an  outfit  of  900  pounds.

The  completion  of  this  line  solves  the  problem  of  cheap,  easy 
and  expeditious  transportation  to  the  Klondike,  as  it  removes 
the  peril  and  hardship  of  the  trip,  greatly  reduces  the  expense

SUMMER   TRAVEL  ON   THE  CHILKOOT 


Begins  after  the  snow  and  ice  have  gone.  The  trip  is  *hen  more 
difficult.  Goods  may  be  freighted  on  wagons  to  Finnegan's  Point, 
a  distance  of  about  four  and  one-half  miles  from  Dyea,  and  from 
there  pack  horses  may  l>e  used  as  far  as  The  Scales,  which  is 
within  three-quarters  of  a  mile  of  the  summit  It  is  a  difficult 
matter  to  get  horses  over  the  summit,  but  during  the  past  summer 
four  or  five  sure-footed  and  experienced  pack  horses  were  taken 
over,  and  used  to  advantage  between  there  nnd  Lake  L,indeman. 
In  the  absence  of  horses  goods  may  be  packed  the  whole  distance 
from  the  summit  to  lyake  Lindeman,  about  nine  miles,  or  they 
may  be  ferried  across  the  intervening  lakes  (Crater,  Long  and 
Deep  lakes),  which  aggregate  nearly  four  miles  in  length. 

Or,  leaving  Dyea,  goods  may  be  freighted  in  boats  or  canoes  on 
the  Dyea  river  to  the  head  of  canoe  navigation,  a  distance  of  about 
five  and  a  half  miles.  The  Dyea  is  a  swift  and  somewhat 
treacherous  stream,  and  boating  or  canoing  up  it  is  diffic;ilt  and 
accompanied  by  some  risk  to  the  outfit. 

An  aerial  tramway  is  now  being  constructed  from  Dyea  to  Lake 
Lindeman,  by  the  Chilkoot  Railroad  &.  Transport  Company,  of 
Tacoma.  The  line  will  be  in  operation  by  the  first  of  February, 
and  the  company  propose,  for  ;  moderate  charge,  to  relieve  pros- 
pectors of  the  trouble  and  risk  ot  transporting  their  goods  across 
tnis  pass. 


OTHER   ROUTES. 


Besidjs  the  Chilkoot  pass,  the  chart  of  which  is  published  in 
these  pages,  the  land  routes  into  the  Yukon  are  the  White  pass, 
or  Skaguay  trail,  the  Chilkat  pass  or  Dalton  trail,  the  Stickeen 
route,  and  the  Taku  or  Juneau  route. 

V'^HiTK  Pass  or  Skaouav  Trail.  During  the  summer  of 
1897  this  route  was  extensively  advertised,  and  probably  upwards 
of  four  thousand  people  attempted  to  cross  it.  Of  these,  only  an 
insignificant  number  reachtd  Lake  Benne»^  in  time  to  go  down  the 
river,  the  pass  having  proven  a  failure.  Late  in  the  summer, 
when  the  impracticability  of  the  trail  became  apparent,  the  citizens 
of  Skaguay  sent  a  corps  of  engineers  into  the  field  to  lay  out  a

new  route.  It  is  stated  that  this  has  been  done,  and  that  a  wagon 
road  is  now  being  constructed  along  it,  and  that  a  tramway  is  also 
being  constructed. 

The  Stickeen   Route.     Starting  at  Fort  Wrangel,   at  the 

•  mouth  of  the  Stickeen  river,  this  route  leads  up  the  river  for  a 

distance  of  about  150  miles,  to  Telegraph  creek,  and  from  there 

it  is  about  150  miles  along  the  trail  to  Lake  Teslin,  which  opens 

into  the  Hootalinqua  river,  a  tributary  of  the  Yukon. 

The  trip  up  the  Stickeen  river  is  made  by  steamer.  It  requires 
considerable  time  on  account  of  the  difficulty  of  navigation,  some- 
times being  as  long  as  two  weeks  making  the  trip.  The  trail 
from  Telegraph  creek  to  Lake  Teslin  is  said  to  be  easy,  with 
some  grass  along  the  way  for  horses.  Lak*-  Teslin  is  about 
80  miles  long.  There  seems  to  be  some  question  whether  the 
Hootalinqua  river,  into  which  Lake  Teslin  opens,  is  navigable  at 
its  headwaters. 

Taku  Route.  The  route,  leading  from  the  head  of  Taku 
inlet  to  Lake  Teslin,  has  been  looked  upon  as  a  feasible  route  for 
a  railroad,  principally  because  of  the  slight  elevation,  as  com- 
pared with  some  of  the  other  routes.  But  its  practicability  in  the 
absence  of  a  railroad,  remains  to  be  demonstrated. 

Dalton  Trail,  or  Chilkat  Pass.  This  trail  starts  at 
Haines'  Mission,  on  Cbilkat  nilet  of  Lynn  canal,  and  travels  about 
three  hundred  miles  of  country  and  strikes  the  Yukon  near  the 
Pelly  river.  In  some  respects  it  is  a  route  to  be  favored.  Its  dis- 
tance is  against  it,  but  there  is  plenty  of  feed  along  the  route 
for  pack  animals,  and  the  grade  is  easy.  It  is  the  favored  route 
for  driving  in  cattle,  or  taking  large  pack  trains  during  the  sum- 
mer season  when  the  ground  is  free  from  snow.  It  intercepts  the 
Yrkon  below  all  the  dangerous  rapids  except  the  Five  Fingers. 

The  summit  of  this  trail  is  about  forty-five  miles  from  the  coast, 
and  the  elevation  about  3,000  feet.  Dalton's  trading  post  is  about 
IOC  miles  from  the  coast.  Along  the  valleys  it  is  well  timbered. 
The  route  is  u.sed  largely  by  uiiners  returning  from  the  interior  in 
the  late  fall  or  early  winter,  to  avoid  the  difficulty  of  poling  up 
the  Yukon,  and  to  cut  off  the  White  Horse  rapids,  the  Canyon 
and  Thirty- Mile  river.

BOAT  BUILDING. 


The  fact  that  more  than  one- third  of  tl.s  distance  from  Seattle 
to  Dawson  City  has  to  be  made  in  small  boats,  and  that  small 
boats  furnish  the  only  means  of  transportation  from  one  district  to 
another,  will  indicate  the  attention  which  this  item  of  the  journey 
demands. 

The  conditions  demand,  first,  a  boat  large  enough  to  carry  the 
outfit,  and  substantially  built,  and  second,  a  boat  capable  of  trans- 
porting goods  up  stream  as  well  as  down. 

The  difficulties  of  the  Canyon,  the  White  Horse  and  other 
rapids  are  such  that  a  boat  must  be  strongly  built  and  it  should 
be  at  least  twenty  feet  long.  If  it  is  to  be  carried  in  with  the  out- 
fit it  should  be  in  sections;  the  shorter  the  better,  as  it  is  prac- 
tically impossible  to  carry  boat  lumber  of  full  length  over  the  pass. 
For  up  river  transportation  nothing  but  the  batteaux  pattern  is 
practicable,  on  account  of  the  swift  current,  both  of  the  Yukon 
and  its  tributaries. 

As  elsewhere  stated  in  these  pages,  in  spring  travel  the  pros- 
pector should  go  as  far  as  possible  on  the  ice.  He  will  then  con- 
struct his  boat  when  open  water  is  reached.  Timber  for  boat 
building  may  be  found  most  anywhere  from  Lake  Lindeman  on 
down,  that  along  Lake  Marsh  and  in  that  vicinity  being  more  ac- 
cessible and  of  a  better  grade  than  along  Lake  Lindeman  or  Ben- 
nett. If  the  portage  is  made  from  Lake  Marsh  across  to  the 
Hootalinqua  river,  good  timber  for  boat  building  may  be  found 
all  along  this  stream. 

The  first  thing  necessary  to  the  construction  of  a  boat  is  the 
building  of  a  saw-pit.  This  is  done  by  putting  up  horizontal 
supports  seven  or  eight  feet  above  the  ground,  on  which  the  logs 
are  placed  for  sawing,  one  man  beneath  and  one  on  top.  The 
distance  these  supports  are  apart  depends  upon  the  length  of  the 
boat  to  be  built,  but  they  are  usually  about  sixteen  leet  apart. 
Sometime  four  trees  can  be  found  which  can  be  cut  down  for  the.se 
supports  to  rest  on,  if  not  they  will  have  to  l)e  constructed.  Great 
care  should  be  taken  to  have  the  saw-pit  substantially  built,  to 
avoid  accidents  from  any  of  the  timbers  slipping  out  of  plane. 

The  log  should  be  securely  fastened  to  these  supports  and  each 
edge  slabbed  off.  then  turned  down  and  sawed  into  boards  ^^  of 


26 

an  inch  in  thickness,  the  log  being  carefully  lined  both  on  top  and 
bottom  so  as  to  get  the  boards  of  uniform  thickness  all  the  way 
through.  For  convenience  the  log  should  be  thus  marked  off 
into  the  full  number  of  boards  it  will  make  before  starting  to  saw 
it,  and  each  board  can  then  be  sawed  down  to  the  first  support 
before  moving  the  log. 

The  boards  usually  need  some  dressing,  and.  the  slabs  may  be 
used  for  oars  and  cross-timbers  for  the  boat. 

It  is  reported  that  a  syndicate  has  secured  concession  from  the 
Canadian  government  of  the  timber  along  these  lakes,  which,  if 
true,  will  throw  the  most  serious  obstacle  yet  encountered  in  the 
way  of  the  prospectors  constructing  their  own  boats. 


LAKE  LINDEMAN. 

In  summer  travel,  the  river  journey  begins  at  Lake  Lindeman. 
It  is  about  five  miles  long,  with  an  average  width  of  about  one 
mile,  and  can  be  crossed  at  all  times  without  difficulty.  There  is 
timber  for  boat  building  at  the  head  of  the  lake,  but  it  is  of  an  in- 
ferior quality,  and  somewhat  inaccessible.  Some  adopt  the 
method  of  improvising  a  raft  here  to  convey  their  goods  further 
down  where  better  timber  can  be  found. 

The  outlet  of  this  lake  is  the  stream  connecting  it  with  Lake 
Bennett,  where  a  portage  has  to  be  made.

long  storage.

PORTAGE  FROM  LAKE  LINDEIVIAN  TO  LAKE 

BENNETT. 

In  making  the  trip  down  the  lakes  after  the  ice  breaks  up  the 
boat  will  have  to  be  run  through  from  Lake  Lindeman  to  Lake 
Bennett  empty,  or  practically  so,  and  the  goods  portaged  around. 

This  portage  is  less  than  a  mile  in  distance,  and  is  one  of  the 
points  at  which  a  tram  is  projected.  It  is  a  good  road  with  but  a 
slight  elevation,  and  the  boat  and  outfit  can  be  transferred  in  a 
day.  The  commissary  box,  which  is  usually  the  most  inconveni- 
ent thing  to  carry,  may  be  left  in  the  boat. 

By  the  exercise  of  ordinary  caution  the  boat  can  be  run  through 
without  danger  of  injury.  There  is  opportunity  to  carry  a  line 
down  the  right  hand  bank,  and  as  a  matter  of  safety  this  ;  hould 
be  done,  with  one  man  in  the  boat  to  direct  its  course  and  keep  it 
clear  of  rocks.  It  may  be  necessary  to  portage  the  boat  between 
the  points  "B"  and  "C"  marked  on  the  chart,  depending  upon 
the  volume  of  water.  If  the  boat  is  not  portaged  it  should  be 
taken  down  the  right  hand  bank,  and  particular  care  taken  to 
avoid  the  projecting  rock  on  the  left  hand  bank  opposite  this 
point.     A  dotted  line  on  the  chart  indicates  the  boat's  course.

LAKE  BENNETT. 


Lake  Bennett,  into  which  the  portage  from  Lake  Linderman 
opens,  is  about  twenty- five  miles  long.  For  the  first  twelve  miles 
it  is  scarcely  more  than  a  mile  wide,  and  from  this  point,  where 
an  arm  enters  it  on  the  left,  it  will  average  about  five  miles  in 
width.  There  is  always  a  strong  wind  on  this  lake,  particularly 
the  narrow  strip  at  the  head.  In  the  spring  the  prevailing  winds 
are  north,  and  in  the  fall,  south;  though  of  course  they  shift  more 
or  less  at  all  seasons.  It  is  impossible  to  cross  the  lake  in  the 
face  of  a  south  wind,  and  boats  aro  .sometimes  delayed  at  the  head 
of  the  lake  for  days  at  a  time.  The  course  is  along  the  right 
hand  shore,  as  indicated  on  the  charts. 

CARIBOU  CROSSING  AMD  TAGISH  LAKE. 

Caribou  Crossing,  so  called  because  it  is  the  crossing  place  for 
the  bands  of  caribou  in  their  migration  south  in  the  fall  and  re- 
turn in  the  spring,  connects  Lake  Bennett  and  Tagish  lake.  The 
channel  is  crooked  and  shallow,  and  the  current  moderate. 

What  is  known  as  Windy  Arm  enters  Tagi.sh  lake  from  the 
right  about  two  miles  below  Caribou  Crossing,  Strong  winds 
blow  directly  across  the  lake  opposite  the  arm,  from  about  ten 
o'clock  in  the  morning  until  evening,  and  many  boats  are  wrecked 
here.  The  most  favorable  time  to  cross  the  lake  is  in  the  evening 
or  at  night,  and  the  boat's  course  should  be  kept  well  to  the  left 

hand  shore. 

The  Canadian  police  and  customs  officers  are  located  on  the 
bank  of  the  river  connectitig  Tagish  Lake  and  Lake  Marsh,  about 
one  and  a  half  miles  below  Tagish  Lake.

LAKE  !V\ARSH. 


Lake  Marsh,  which  is  about  six  nuks  hckm  TaR.sh  lake,  is 
connected  with  it  by  a  wide  river  with  a  sluggish  current.  This 
lake  is  a  fine  body  of  water  about  twenty  miles  in  length  with  an 
average  width  of  from  two  to  four  miles.  At  the  he.d  of  the  lake 
the  water  is  very  shallow.  There  is  good  timr,er  a:  the  foot  of 
the  lake,  and  along  the  left  shore,  and  the  right  shore  .s  bordered 
by  a  broad  valley,  back  of  which  are  rolling  bills.  I  he  val- 
lev  and  hills  have  a  growth  of  grass  but  no  tnnber. 

'Lake  Marsh  is  entered  on  the  righi  at  the  foot  by  the  Mc- 
Clintock  river,  and  here  is  the  starting  point  for  what  is  known 
as  the 

PORTAGE  TO  HOOTALINQUA  R!VER. 

The  McClintock  river  drains  a  low  rolling  country  to  the  east 
of  Lake  Marsh,  and  in  the  early  spri.ig  goods  may  be  sledded  up 
the  river  for  a  distance  of  some  twelve  miles,  and  the  stream  wlurh 
puts  into  the  north  side  of  the  river  should  be  followed  from  here 
for  a  distance  of  about  four  miles,  thence  a  northeasterly  direction 
taken  for  about  five  miles,  which  will  take  you  across  the  divide. 
From  here  any  of  the  gulches  leading  down  to  the  Hootahnqua 

river  may  be  taken.  '    '  ,  ^,  •  »    «.,„ 

The  distance  across  this  portage  is  not  to  exceed  thirty-fix  e 
miles,  and  by  taking  it  and  going  down  the  Hootalinqua  to  its 
iunction  with  the  Yukon,  or  Lewes,  all  the  bad  waters  of  the  lat- 
ter are  avoided  except  the  Five  Finger  rapids.  Ihe  trip  down 
the  Hootalinqua  may  be  made  as  far  as  possible  on  the  ice,  as 
there  is  good  timber  all  along  for  boat  building.

iV\ILES  CANYON. 


LeaviuR  Lake  Marsh  behind,  about  twenty-three  miles  be'ow  is 
encountered  Miles  Canyon. 

This  is  the  first  bad  piece  of  water  reached  after  leaving  Lake 
Hennett,  and  in  some  respects  is  the  most  dangerous  part  of  the 

river. 

The  approach  to  the  canyon  will  be  detected  by  the  increase 
in  the  current  of  the  river,  which  is  quite  perceptible  for  about 
three  miles  above  it,  and  occasional  lioulders  will  be  seen.  In 
the  approach  care  should  be  taken  to  keep  near  the  right  hand 
bank,  and  a  landing  may  be  safely  made  in  the  eddy  on  the  right 
hand  side  at  the  head  of  the  cpuyon. 

The  canyon  has  an  avera  >  S^'h  of  about  one  hundred  feet, 
between  walls  of  solid  rock  r^  Vom  fifty  to  one  hundred  feet 

in  height,  its  peculiarity  being  tu  act  that  the  water  cones  up  in 
the  center,  being  from  three  to  four  feet  higher  than  at  the  sides. 
In  making  the  start  through  the  boat  should  be  pulled  well  out 
into  the  stream  as  indicated  on  the  chart,  and  kept  on  the  crest  of 
the  cone,  with  one  man  at  the  oars  and  another  steering.  About 
half  way  through  the  river  broadens  out  into  a  basin  on  the  left 
hand  .side,  reducing  the  cone  to  the  level  of  the  river,  and  forming 
a  whirlpool.  The  boat's  course  should  be  directed  slightly  to  the 
right,  cutting  through  the  edge  of  the  whirl,  and  directed  onto 
the  crest  of  the  cone  below. 

Near  the  foot  of  the  canyon  is  a  large  rock  abou*  the  middle  of 
the  river,  the  course  being  to  the  right.  At  high  water  this  rock 
is  submerged,  but  its  location  can  be  determined  by  the  general 
appearance.     The  landing  is  on  the  right  hand  bank  just  below 

the  rock. 

The  boat,  to  make  this  run  successfully,  must  be  strongly  built 
and  not  too  heavily  loaded.  In  fact,  experienced  Yukoners  make 
it  an  imperative  rule  to  portage  a  portion  of  their  outfit  around  the 
trail  indicated  on  the  chart,  so  that  they  will  not  be  left  helpless 
in  case  of  an  accident,  as  it  would  be  impossible  to  save  anything

LAKE  LEBARGE. 


I 


For  twenty-five  ^iles  below  White  Horse  rapids  no  difficulty 
wiil  be  encountered,  the  widest  channel  being  followed  to  avo,d 
:hoalt,::islands.     Abouttlurteen  nHles down  the  T^jk^enarn 
puts  in  from  the  west,  Lake  LeBarge  being  about  twenty  nnles 

^Thi"s  is  the  last  one  of  the  lakes,  and  is  regarded  as  a  bad  piece 
of Tvae  being  the  most  treacherous  of  all  the  lakes.  It  js  about 
thirty  two  miles  long,  and  about  halfway  down  it  .s  a  small  island 
lying  somewhat  toward  the  left  bank. 

The  boat's  course  is  along  the  left  hand  or  west  bank  until  th.s 

island  is  passed      The  outlet  to  the  lake  is  on  the  east  side  of  the 

low"      nd  ^d  f  there  is  no  wind  a  straight  course  may  be  taken 

rthe  olt  from  the  lower  end  of  the  island.     I^  ^^^ je^f^^-^^^ 

at  all  unfavorable,  however,  the  west  shore  should  be  followed 

'ltt:LtLTto7r:'he  west  bank,  for  in  the  event  of  being 
caightira  storm,  the  high  and  abrupt  bluffs  render  it  impossible 
to  land  anywhere  along  the  east  shore. 


THIRTY  MILE  RIVER. 

The  stretch  of  river  from  the  foot  of  Lake  LeBarge  to  the 

?WrTy  m  iTsbut  during  the  whole  time  the  best  boatmen  have 
tSabity  taxed  to  L  utmost,  and  constant  vigilance^.s  re- 
ouired  to  keep  the  boat  in  the  channel  and  free  from  the  obstruc-

THE  HOOTALINQUA,  BIG  SALMON  AND  LITTLE 
SALMON  RIVERS. 

The  Hootalin,ua  river  is  navigable  for  light  draft  steamer^  to 
Lake  Teslin,  the  current  being  much  milder  Uva.i  t^e   Lewes. 
Much  go  d  has  been  found  along  it.  as  well  as  along  the  B.g  Sal-

hlrtv^ix  miles  further  down,  all  of  the.se  rivers  coming  m  froin 
he  eas       The  Little  Salmon  is  very  swift,  and  can  be  run  with 
I'olts  but  a  short  distance.     Nothing  but  surface  P-P-"^^- 
been  done  on  any  of  these  streams,  bedrock  not   having  been 
reached  so  far  as  known.     Some  good  quartz  prospects  have  been 
found  on  the  Little  Salmon. 

CASSIAR  BAR. 

For  miles  below  the  mouth  of  the  Hootalinqua  th^^^j;^  "^^^^^ 
ous  bars  the  one  known  as  the  Cas.siar  being  about  twenty  miles 
dSant  and  on  the  west  side  of  the  river.  Gold  has  been  found 
on  many  of  them,  the  Cassiar  having  been  the  most  productive. 
Many  smlu  streams  put  into  the  Lewes  all  along  here,  and  the  in- 
dications are  that  it  is  a  good  country  for  prospectors.

GENERAL  CONDITIONS. 


From  the  observations  of  temperature  and  climatic  conditions 
made  in  the  Yukon  country  during  the  years  1895  and  1896,  by 
Mr.  William  Ogilvie,  Dominion  surveyor,  we  make  the  following 

extracts : 

During  the  months  of  July  and  August,  1896,  the  highest  tem- 
perature recorded  was  81  degrees;  the  lowest,  27.2  degrees.  Dur- 
ing the  two  months  it  rained  on  1 1  days. 

During  the  months  of  December,  1895,  and  January,  February 
and  March,  1896,  the  highest  temperature  recorded  was  40  degrees 
above;  the  lowest,  68  degrees  below  zero.  During  these  months 
it  snowed  on  15  days. 

The  conditions  prevent  its  being  anything  of  an  agricultural 
country,  but  some  of  the  common  garden  produce,  such  as  rad- 
ishes, lettuce,  small  cabbages,  small  turnips,  etc.,  may  be  success- 
fully grown. 

The  great  pest  of  the  country  are  mosquitoes.  During  the 
summer  months,  and  until  September,  they  are  a  veritable  plague. 
Neither  smoke  nor  fire  seem  to  affect  them,  and  the  only  way  to 
escape  them  is  to  cover  one's  self  with  mosquito  netting. 

NAVIGATION  ON  THE  YUKON. 

The  upper  Yukon  is  open  to  navigation  from  May  until  about 
the  middle  of  October.  At  the  mouth  it  is  not  open  until  July, 
and  does  not  last  later  than  about  the  first  of  October. 

It  takes  the  river  steamers  about  twenty  days  to  run  up  the 
river  to  Dawson  City.  The  lower  waters  of  the  river  spread  out 
over  what  is  known  as  the  Yukon  flats,  and  there  is  more  or  less 
trouble  in  navigating  the  river  here,  the  difficulty  being  enhanced 
by  the  bars  at  the  mouth  of  the  river,  where  the  channel  frequently 
changes. 

THE  OCEAN  ROUTE. 


The  ocean,  or  all-water  route,  is  by  water  to  the  mouth  of  the 
Yukon  and  on  up  the  river.  It  is  about  three  thousand  five  hun- 
dred miles  from  vSeattle  to  St.  Michael  island,  and  from  there

City.  There  are  a  number  of  lines  operating  on  this  route  now 
and  others  contemplated. 


GAME. 

As  might  be  expected,  the  Yukon  basin  is  a  fine  game  country 
Moose,  bear,  caribou  and  small  game  abound  in  the  upper  part, 
partLularly;     Along  White  river  the  moose  attains  a  greater  s.x.e 
than  in  any  other  part  of  the  continent. 

The  habits  of  both  the  caribou  and  moose  are  such  that  they 

cannot  be  relied  on  as  a  .source  of  food  supply.    In  Jhe  ^"'"'"f  ""^ 

ley  may  be  found  in  herds  on  the  headwaters  of  the  Pelly  and 

Stewart  rivers,  and  also  on  the  headwaters  of  the  Tanana.     The 

Arctic  hare  abounds  in  the  winter  along  the  rivers.
